-Etforts are about being made to have a
postofice established at near the German
church on the county road above Dance mill
in the 10th district. The nearest postOfhce is al

thickly settled section think they should have
better mail facilities.

organization, which has lately been supplied with
new instruments and has fine band wagon, is
led by Mr.. Albert Smith, with Mr.. Jacob H. Kraft
as drum major. It has twenty -one members and
as a musical organization has few superiors
One day this week we noticed quite ON aged
gentleman in Q crowded car on the Maryland
Central road, get up and give his seat to young
woman-who no doubt considers herself refined
and educated-who never even looked towards
him, much less thanked him for his kindness. A
woman who has no more polteness than that
should be compelled to ride in the baggage car.
The Hartford papers do not speak hopefully
of the projected Deer Creek and Susquehanna
railroad. Those who proposed to take hold Of
the enterprise promised to it through provided
the people along the line of the road would sub
scribe SIS 900. A second canvass has been made
and the best that could be done was $37, 450. I'm
less the balance is forthcoming the project will
likely he dropped.
The poles Of three different telegraph and
telephone lines now decorate the main street Of
Towsontown. Pretty soon thSy will be as thick
as the pailings on picket fence and will cut of
property owners from the main thoroughfare. 1t
would seem that these companies think they have
a right to go where they please, no matter how
much they interfere with the rights of others
It's now about time to put stop to the business
The receivers of the Maryland Central
Railroad have made a big mistake by putting up
the rates of fare Just at this season of the year
when city people are beginning to look around
for places to spend the summer in the country,

business off the road The single fare to Towson-
town is now Is cts, and the round trip az cts.,
and 10 cts. additional may be added to each fare,
which goes to the horse cars in order to get down
town and back, so that the actual fare to the CEN
ire of the city may be said to be 30 cts The rates
have been correspondingy increased all along the

The Baltimore County Steel Works.
Reference has heretofore been made in The UNION
to the purchase of nearly one thousand acres of
land on the water front below Canton, in the 18th
district of this county, upon which extensive steel
works are to be established. 1t now turns out
that the purchase was made by the Pennsylvania
Steel Company, of Steelton, whose immense works
are located on the Susquehanna, below Harris
burg, and the same company that is now opera
ting the Ashland Iron Furnaces, at Ashland, Bal
timors county. The Philadelphia Record of
Monday, speaking of this enterprise, says: "The
object of the purchase is the erection Of large
iron plant, at which the Cuban ores mined by the
Juragua Iron Company, and in which the Penn
sylvania Steel Company and the Bethlehem Iron
Company have large interest, can be manufac-
tured. An officer of the steel company states that
the new purchase has a good water front; that
wharEss will be built. and the of the Juragua
Iron Company will be landed IN proximity to the
blast furnaces, two of WHICH will be erected at an
early day. The works will be connected with the
Northern Central Railroad Company, and the pro-
duct of the furnaces shipped North that route.
1t is commended that the manufacture of pig-iron
can bs accomplished at this point more cheaply
than further North. The steamers prefer Bati-
more as port of entry, for the reason that they
get better return cargoes there, thus lowering
the rate of freight upon the ore 1t is estimated
that the new plant, when in full operation, will
give employment to 500 hands,"
